Test drive the Ford Mustang Dark Horse: That's where the V8 engine and drift electronic handbrake come in!

-The new model is equipped with a new fourth-generation 5.0-liter Coyote V8 naturally aspirated engine with a maximum output of 372 kW and a maximum torque of 566 Nm. The dual-throttle body intake design is adopted, and the dual air intake design of the front grille can ensure sufficient air intake, and the crankshaft, piston connecting rod, camshaft and other components of the engine have been strengthened. Of course, the cylinder block is also made of aluminum alloy.

——With the strong power and the blessing of the rear axle Torsen limited slip differential, the new car can be powered to drift and the handbrake to drift. The direction is about 90 degrees, and with a deep foot on the accelerator, the restlessness of the rear of the car can be felt immediately. At this time, the reverse steering wheel and precise throttle control cooperate with each other to keep the body drifting attitude, the steering wheel controls the front wheels, and the accelerator controls the rear wheels, and the differential distributes the torque, always maintaining the adhesion of the rear wheels to the ground.

- When I switched to the electronic parking brake, it all seemed to be easier. This system operates in a simulated way, but the effect is three times stronger than the traditional mechanical handbrake, and you only need to release the throttle when cornering, turn the steering and pull the handbrake at the same time, and you can start drifting.

——The linearity of the accelerator and brake of the whole vehicle is very high, and the starting time of lightly stepping on the accelerator has a very good smoothness. The Brembo braking system and Pirelli P ZERO tyres are also very powerful in successive corners, the former braking at high speeds, and with the solid electromagnetic induction suspension system, the center of gravity of the body does not shift very much, even when I think the speed of entering the corner after the straight acceleration is too high, there is no pushing, and the center of gravity of the body is always maintained in a relatively small range of changes. At the same time, the strong grip of the latter makes the body feel like it is glued to the ground.

- When switched to standard mode, the MagneRide active electromagnetic induction suspension system can electromagnetically control the density of the shock absorber fluid, making it comfortable when passing speed bumps. The SelectShift 10-speed automatic manual transmission downshifts are great when slowing down on the track, and the gear changes are smooth in normal driving.
